This is fantastic. For those surprised that something like this is at all possible in a bandoneon, they should keep in mind that the bandoneon was invented (in Germany, by Heinrich Band in mid-19th century) as a portable organ, so to speak, in order to play church music. That was the very idea of the instrument's existence. So playing something like this piece by Bach, originally written for the organ, is actually going back to the original purpose of the instrument.
Exactly :)
Is this a reed instrument?
And I’m pretty sure our beloved kapellmeister would have loved that instrument.
it is@@wrdennig
Thanks for the historical note. I had no idea that the instrument was designed for that purpose. It fills it well.
I don't play the bandoneon, but I have read about it, and knowing what I know, that unlike a keyboard instrument where notes are linear, the keys are all randomly scattered, so a player has to be figuratively married to his or her instrument, and on top of that, that buttons have two notes depending on when the bellows are opening or closing, I must say, how absolutely amazing and awe-inspiring.
Sacrifices had to be made as obviously the bandoneon has a more limited range than a pipe organ, not to mention the bandoneon player can't use all 10 fingers, but even so, I must say, it was a treat and a joy to listen to.
The amount of concentration it must have taken to learn this entire piece is to be commended. It's not easy playing a piece meant for a keyboard on the random, scattered buttons of the bandoneon. Only a crazed genius could. Rock on, you crazy genius.
Thank you 😊
Instant like from me for same reason. What a poor world we would have without such crazy people.
Wow!
What a pleasure to see that someone has done his research work 👏.
Yes, the diatonic bandonion is a true nightmare; so much so, that Piazzolla defined it (word for word) as:
"The most diabolical invention ever made by Man, and just to WANT to play it you have to be totally mad"
So my friend, you have hit the nail on the head. You have understood the real difficulty of this mad machine. You get full marks 👍👏
This is the second recording I have heard of the entire Toccata and Fugue BWV 565 on the bando. The other one was by a very young Chinese player- much less expressive.
It's a phenomenal feat and a challenge that very few can take up.
Claudio is extremely gifted and an excellent musician AND composer- that helps.

And holding the phone camera with his toes, too! 😅
Not only can this instrument emulate an organ better than I imagined, this performance is actually superb as well. This piece is so often played without feeling, or rushed. You played it dynamically and from the heart, excellent!
😊🙏🏼
This is honestly the best performance of Toccata and Fugue I have ever heard.
En órgano y piano son muy buenas tambien
Thank you very much!
I agree.
It's very good, but Virgil Fox would like to have a word.
Xavier Varnus would also like a word.
Bach believed that all music should be composed for the glory of God. This beautiful music must have been enjoyed in heaven for centuries.
I hear it did well in hell too.
Well, I guess everybody has their own fallibility
I am an organ guy, and I am shocked at how good this little bellows thing belts out this classic. Bravo!
Yes - we don't hear an instrument - he belts it out and the sound fills the room. Magic - mystic - enjoyable - it feels like surfing the waves of an endless stream of waves of harmony and peace.
Маленький орган
My mother used to play Bach on her accordion. Bach on any instrument is wonderful because Bach is wonderful.
I am standing up, straight out of bed, applauding and shouting for more. My wife is calling the psych hotline, and my dog is cowering under the bed. Now that, dear maestro, is how you make a new fan!
😄😄😄 thank you for your enthusiasm!
Amen!
Amen! Ditto!
😂😂🤘❤️🙏⚘️⚘️ much love ❤️ 🙏
It's not a new fan. It's an old bandoneon.
I really love this piece. I never get bored hearing this one. We even let the organist play this at our wedding. The church had a beautiful organ out of that time period and it never got used in its full glory so i just had to request that piece. We let him play it at the end and just as i hoped a lot of people stayed in their seat just listening to bach and being in awe. They never knew the organ they hear every sunday could sound so beautifully. It might have been a strange request for a wedding but i couldnt think of any other piece that would give me so much joy and full hearth
Amen!
dude if i went to a dracula wedding i would be in awe too
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
No conocemos toda la obra completa, sus sonidos son hermosos, realmente trae paz a nuestro espíritu. Gracias por compartir y más con ese instrumento tan genial.
Saludos desde Aguascalientes, México.
You are right, I can not have enough of it. In fact, it ruined my piano playing. Since 2019 I have been practicing this on the piano ( a lot harder as keys are heavier). I am 3/4 through it and have been stuck since 2022. My hands and arms get so achy I have to stop. I neglected all other piano peices I know and only play this for the last 2 years. My household is now so fed up, But I can not fall out of love with it.
This is an outstanding example of a Bach transcription. I am in utter amazement and awe. Playing this piece on a diatonic bandonion is feat of mental and physical gymnastics. Even Piazzolla himself could not have played half of this!
You have my full respects Maestro.
Piazzolla certainly could have played this in a very convincing way
@frankrault3190 Sorry mate,
Piazzolla's own particular genius was his phenomenal gift for improvisation, and his own style of rubato playing- just like Chopin. However, he never, EVER, played any classical compositions, and certainly not any transcription.
Exactly how much do you know about the four totally different keyboards of the AA (Alfredo Arnold) diatonic bandoneon? Very little I believe. Have you ever watched Astor play??? He spent his entire life playing ONLY on the pull stroke of his instrument- thus using only half of its potential. If you are not a bandonion player yourself, you should refrain from non technical comments. Piazzolla was NOT, EVER a classical musician. When he tried his hand at "serious" composing, his teacher, Nadia Boulanger had to tell him the truth: he was not destined, and unable to do this. She told him to go back to the draughting board, and write the POPULAR music of his country: the Argentinian Tango. He was a much more fabulous instrumentalist than a composer.
He died in 1993, and since, dozens of extremely talented young musicians have taken the bandonion far beyond him. Yes, he was a Master musician, but new talent (as above) is soaring to new heights. I am truly impressed by Claudio's immense talent, and his vast versatility. He is also a pianist and complex composer. Look up his piano videos.
It's better to be sure before making rash, or erroneous statements.
@@musamor75 I agree with your last line, and you should apply that to yourself.
And then listen to Fuga del Angel, for example. (Concierto del Ángel), which shows that's he is fully capable of mastering whatever classical genre.
And then learn to read well before you start to teach insulting lessons to others who might be informed about the matter as well or better than you.
@@musamor75 What do you actually know about Piazzolla??
in his (interviewed) memories he tells he played Bach on the Bandoneon..
How ridiculous is your comment!!
don't try it when you're sroned!
I've listened to a lot of videos on RUclips since 2008 but this might have been the greatest individual performance of them all.
That’s very flattering, thank you very much 🙏🏼
This has a lovely transparency most organs can not achieve. Loved it, and so would Sebastian.
I'm impressed by how expressively dynamic this instrument can be in the right hands. This performance is superb!
If Bach was a pirate:
😂
Ha! Exactly. Love this!
No te vaya a leer un argentino jajaja
@@Osterodes9336Exacto 😒
Captain Dracula
Музыкант от Бога! И какой скромный человек, что даже лица своего не показывает. Храни вас Господь!
I admit that I just started this video because this is one of my favorite organ pieces and I was prepared to stop listening after a few moments. Was I ever wrong! This is one of the best renditions I have heard in my lifetime. The dynamic and tempo is superb and I even closed my eyes and had the mental image of an organ. Thank you for that experience!
I also thought it might not be something to take seriously. I’m glad I was wrong. This is total mastery.
Exactly the same!
The room-filling sound that comes from such a comparatively small instrument is amazing!
Absolutely breathtaking performance, maestro! Grazie mille!
My fingers are cramping watching his fingers playing the fugue. I am in awe!
If Bach were alive, he would have said "Fantastisch!" Truly masterful job. It was my father's favorite Bach piece and he listened to all types of performances of it. He passed away over 20 years ago and when I saw this in my feed, I had to watch it and all throughout I knew my father would have loved it. Thank you so much.
Bear in mind, when this overwhelmingly beautiful piece is played on pipe organ, the performer has the use of all five fingers on each hand and both feet. This incredible performance is created with just four fingers of each hand and his arms. It is absolutely incredible. As an old compatriot of mine used to say, It Is A
Miracle!
🙏🏼😊
Don’t forget his leg movement🤗
Now , just think if he played in a room with reverb🤩
Unglaublich, dieser Klang, mit so einem Instrument! Einfach großartig und perfekt gespielt. Meine Hochachtung gilt dem Musiker! 👍👍👍
🙏🏼😊
I am in awe of this.
Firstly, the instrument has such beautiful tonal qualities, so rich and full.
The playing is masterful and beautiful. BUTTONS! They have always mystified me.
More of this please. It's improved my day beyond measure.
Thank you!
Thats just amazing, the skill needed for that
I can't stop listening ❤ much love from Syria
Шикарное звучание, восхитительная техника исполнения наипрекраснейший инструмент, и гениальное произведение, моё почтение!!!💪👍🤗
Wow this is among the coolest things I've ever seen. The tone and timbre of this instrument really does the piece justice and the playing is otherworldly.
Mind-blowing dexterity and precision! So many notes, so quickly, and all by touch on a non-linear button array...with both hands! This is skill beyond many musicians. And, how you can do this without extreme carpel tunnel injury is amazing.
I was having a moment of stress when I went to RUclips and found your video as a random recommendation on my feed. Watching you play made me forget the world. Such an excellent performance, thank you for sharing
Незнаю, как эта "гармошка" называется, но это ПОТРЯСАЮЩЕ!!!!!!
Можно слушать и слушать
Огромнейшее спасибо за предоставленное удовольствие, как будто на концерт органной музыки сходила
Я органист, и, слушая, я думал, что будет сыграна не вся фактура. Но ни одной пропущенной исполнителем ноты я не нашёл. Искренний, душевный лайк от меня!
😊🙏🏼
Same - so much surprise - new respect brought to the instrument + new more intimate facets on a human scale. (Amazing).
Some of the pedal notes are missed.
Still mind blowing because some of the pedal notes are there ... I dunno how... well I do know how but just - the range and timbre of the instrument in the hands of this master blew me away. The rhythm is also kept perfectly - every organ player I heard except one is not as good at this song.
Как инструмент называется?
@@user-ys3dg7mj1z Бандонеон
Little squeezes; big squeezes and w i d e pulls means this lovely responsive instrument truly breathes life into the music. Beautiful, skillful, joyous playing by the phenomenally talented Mr Constantini. So good…
That is the most amazing performance I have seen in a long time!!!! Bravo!!!!
Thanks!
This is like Eddie Van Halen on accordion. I never knew that this instrument is this impressive!
Bach was an incomparable genius. This song is over 300 years old, yet still sounds modern (depending on the instrument). True genius is timeless.😉
And the player .?
Голос Бога вне времени. Он вечен.
bach one of the top if not the top composer ever.
The interpretation, the transcription, the utter skill in playing it beautifully! I am in awe. The phrasing is perfect, the sound immaculate, the pauses pleasing, I wish I am there in person!
Thank you for this wonderful video to all the music lovers of the world. Respected Maestro
I'm not sure why the algorithm served this video up to me, but as a musician myself, I have to say this was absolutely fantastic! I'm especially impressed at how much you managed to keep of all the independent voices in the fugue... and all without the use of your feet! 😅 Bravo.
quite possibly my favorite version of the Toccata & Fugue. There is a delicacy to the button accordion as well as the clearer articulation that makes the detail stand out beautifully :)
Bach is at his best. Just unbelievable how this artist is able to "make this instrument" sing. Create the sound waves that let us ride them like surfers, carried away into a world of beauty, sensuality, never-ending peace, and happiness - a journey that the creator of this masterpiece of musical composition has created - delivered to us by a man who is talented to convert the written message of Bach into what we have the pleasure to listen to.
Thank you very much!
Der Klang des Instruments ist wirklich unglaublich! Danke fürs Hochladen! Es ist ein Meister am Spielen!
😊🙏🏼
Боже !!!Это невероятно!!!Такое звучание как будто бы орган!!!Потрясающе!Брависсимо!!!!👍👍👍👍👍
Потому что это - под фонограмму от настоящего многотембрового баяна.
Ich bin tief berührt in meiner Seele meisterhafter Musiker
Die pure Extase - perfekt !!
J. S. Bach wäre sicher begeistert 😊
Thank you very much!
Amazing. A true maestro playing the music of another maestro! How lucky we are to get to experience this.
Что-то необыкновенное!!! Исполнитель вообще фантастический!!! Он поцеловал Богом!!!
🙏🏼😊
Да, лапка. Костя-ж.
ПОЦЕЛОВАН.
This is the BEST and I mean the BEST version of Bach's masterpiece I have heard. Amazingly done!
Thank you so much!
As I listened to this masterpiece, you have me a new appreciation for both the music and your beautiful instrument. Wow
Midst all the rampant hyperbole you, my friend, speak the unarguable truth. Bravo!
BTW. The acoustics of the venue were superb, just the right touch of concert hall echo.
Novel instrument well played but I prefer traditional keyboard perfs. Bravo!
Excellent. A great one ALSO is from SKY
As a non-musician, it blows my mind that an accordionist can keep track of all the buttons and play one of my favorite pieces of music to perfection. This is amazing. I love it!
Not to mention the control of dynamics by squeezing at the same time.
Великолепное, неописуемо красивое исполнение! Инструмент прекрасный, и музыкант просто чудо! Баха даже на органе играть непросто, а тут не на клавишах органа, а на кнопочках! ❤❤❤
To witness someone who has complete mastery of such an instrument is absolutely inspiring... and to someone such as myself who has 2 left hands and 10 thumbs, absolutely amazing! Very well done, sir!
Cheers,
jc
Wow. I am so impressed by how beautifully the individual voices were highlighted. The occasional ornamentation was very tasteful and the the rubato was appropriate and all in all an absolutely captivating interpretation of a timeless and incredibly flexible composition.
Thank you.
I loved the custom ornamentation as well!
Fantastic absolutely fantastic
Bravo. I knew nothing of this instrument but listening to your playing, I imagine your playing would fill a cathedral and bring the audience to tears. Perfection.❤❤❤
Probably not FILL a cathedral. ruclips.net/video/FHNLdHe8uxY/видео.html
Исполнение - высший класс!
Una esecuzione che tocca tutte le corde dell'anima!!!!! Il Maestro che suona è stato toccato dalla mano divina❤
WoW.
It’s not just a gymnastic stunt.
It’s art expressing joy, isn’t it?
I know there’s something really solid there when it brings tears to my eyes!
😍
Instantly played this...could not get Terry Pratchett's Carpe Jugulum out of my head.
WOW. WoW. Wow. wow. The soundscape of this is much wider and deeper than I was expecting.
I dropped everythin was doing, closed my eyes, and got lost in the expert hands of this performer.
Thank you 🙏🏼
Aside from the wonderful skill, practice and time invested..it SOUNDS ..heavenly .! Thank you! You have enriched my life with this beautiful piece of music .
🙏🏼😊
Wow. This is so good. Bach would be proud. It's an amazingly expressive instrument.
man the expression and the bellow control, insane!
This boggles the mind! It looks incredibly complicated! I’ve got it on a loop. Thank you ❤
Cuando no se hallan palabras para expresarse, mejor no decir nada...
👏👏👏👏👏 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Mil gracias!
@@ConstantiniMusic Gracias a ti...! 🙏
✨️🎶🎵🙂
I'm always amazed of the beautiful and powerful sound that is coming out this instrument. And so perfectly touching played !💖
Thank you!
And you are so correct in your observation - we do not hear "an instrument" or listen to a "musician" We are carried away by waves of sounds that fill the room and let us enjoy a journey of deep pleasure and wonderful peaceful thoughts.
Спасибо за прекрасное исполнение и знакомство с удивительным инструментом❤
Очень не просто играть на таком инструменте ,а играть такое это чудо. Всё задействовано во едино Мозг руки слух память и мастерство.
Wow!! I never knew one of those Squeeze Boxes could put out that quality of sound!😲 I LOVE this!🤩
Никогда не думал что на бандонеоне можно такое сыграть !!!
Брависсимо маэстро!!!
РЕСПЕКТ !!!
Лайк и подпись на канал !
Wundervolle Musik, fantastisch interpretiert 😊
Made my night, this was wonderful ❤
Thank you!
This is absolutely stunning indeed! I’ve always thought that if the great Bach had known the accordion or (bandoneon) he would’ve written hundreds of pieces for it. A portable organ - that must’ve been his very dream.
I like to imagine the same :)
There were Portative Organs, but they had limited range so I think he would very much have liked the Squeezebox!
演奏が始まると同時に驚きが走りました。あなたのバンドネオンは魂を揺さぶる。ありがとうございました♪
Hello, I'm from Argentina, I just saw a video on Instagram and went straight to your channel. simply thank you for your existence, your love of music, your talent and dedication.
your works are sublime. thank you very much
Muchísimas gracias!
Вот это даааа !!! Открытие !!! D-moll токката и фуга Баха на бандонеоне ?! Какое великолепное мастерство исполнителя ! Так показать органную полифонию !! Фантастика !
✨️🎶🎵👋🙂👏👏👏
Согласна. Восторг полный. Гармонично звучит.
Бандонеон придумали в Германии как инструмент для церквей. Неудивительно, что Бах звучит на нём так естественно. Он исходно предназначен для такой музыки.
P.S. Попал сюда случайно. Искал исполнение на клавесине с педальной секцией. На нём звучит тоже очень интересно.
Quanto lavoro, esercizio, ripetizioni per affrontare uno spartito del genere. Il risultato però è splendido.
C'mon people, let's kick this up to 1M views! Everybody who watched it, just watch it again and we're good! Go go go!!!!
😍
This is one of the most absolutely gorgeous renditions I've ever heard. Incredible.
Thank you!
2:25 у меня сразу мурашки по коже побежали.
😊
@@ConstantiniMusic а, у меня Валуев по коже пошёл!
I have always loved this song. It's so dark and deep but filled with moments of light airy and playful gestures. I have never heard it on an accordion. In fact, I didn't even know it was possible. It sounds divine.
Some videos can play in the background without the need to stop whatever else you have going on... And some... like 1 in a Million, will have you halting everything to focus 110% on the incredible amazement that is this video! A truly beautiful arrangement & Performance!!
Truely wonderful. Thank you for the performance. 👍😊❤️
Великолепно!!!! Заучит похоже как на орган❤. Впервые вижу такой инструмент.
😊🙏🏼
Бандонеон впервые появился в Германии в начале xix века, но распространился в основном в Южной Америке
Просто восхитительно! Исцеляющий душу бальзам! Спасибо, сеятель добра!. Благослови, Господь.
This is a piece I never get tired of, and the series of suspended chords melting into each other right at the end always sends chills through me - I was afraid this humble little box wouldn’t do it justice, but that was one of the best performances I’ve heard! I’m blown away by how easy you made such a difficult thing look!
Thanks so much
Simply amazing. Keeps the soul uplifted 🎉❤
Applause! I've heard that Toccata means touch, and this man has it!
😊🙏🏼
Оригинально нет предела человеческому гению
Excellent performance.
I'm amazed at so much young talented artist tackling Bach, and this too is remarkable, each instrument deepens my respect for J.S., if only he could hear these works played this well
Браво🎉🎉🎉. Спасибо за такое прекрасное воспроизведение ❤
Автор - абсолютный гений! Исполнитель - грандмастер!
There are no words to express the roller coaster like emotions this magnificent performance evoked in my soul. I found my self either holding my breath or crying with unexplainable delight.
Bravo👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you very much!
Bravo !
This rendition points up the timelessness of this brilliant piece. It could have been written today-it gives me goosebumps listening to it.
Every masterpiece is a pure algorithm, very well written.
It's beautiful how those great composers were really geniuses, putting all those notes together with the intention of evoking sensations, telling a story, describing a scene, a moment; everything. Only with notes, arranged in chords, with the just right tempo, and a just right duration; syntactically correct, with impeccable semantics.
Hearing it, it's so obvious how things are put together in order to work. However, when you think about how to put them together, it's so hard.
We really should praise it every time we hear someone playing these masterpieces because it's not only hard to compose but to play them too, especially with such a challenging instrument.
I’m amazed at the range of this instrument. Well played and a real eye opener!
